I am in a beer bar. I think I've made new friends. I'm extremely overexcited and my wife has just told me I'm going to doublehell

@TheBreadmonkey Exactly how much of a bender are you on this weekend anyway? 😂

This morning I, briefly, couldn't remember the word for ruler and called it the flat stick with the measuring lines on it.

Heading towards halfway.

It might not look that big, but it stretches from the tips of my fingers to about mid chest, so it should end up a decent size.

A few of us on here have been talking about this issue every day this week. Because that's how commonplace it is. Every fucking day. And I'm so fucking sick of it.
This from Kiri Pritchard-McLean on the other place puts it much better than I ever could:

I now spend more time waiting for my PC to update than actually using it.

Windows 10 sucks. Microsoft sucks.

That is all.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Hard agree. I'm so putting Linux onto my new machine when I get it.
The worst thing? "Hey, I know you've just finished doing an update and logged back in to all your stuff but here's another one five minutes later" 🤬

Just saw a bird in the garden that looked nice. Not sure what it is - strange markings. Tried to get a pic but sadly this was the best I could do. Anyone know what this is?...

Same bird only it seems as though it's taunting me. Something in the pose and the eyes.

@TheBreadmonkey That's a female jay, I think.

So in the rush for 's doors, MPs exiting at the next election have found there is a glut on the market - its getting harder & harder for MPs & ex-Ministers to find sinecures on boards or with consultants - in a crowded market (and with damaged goods) the price (that is fees/wages) is dropping & buyers are becoming more particular about the 'talent' on offer... looking forward to the first story of an ex-MP being a minicab driver (we can but hope)

@ChrisMayLA6 Awww, my heart bleeds. People fundamentally unqualified for anything other than grifting will end up having to actually get a real job?

@MostlyTato @ChrisMayLA6 I just read in the Guardian that the polling is so close in Mid Beds that if Labour and Lib Dems refuse to think tactically, they're likely to gift it to the Tories. 🙄😡
Want a giggle though? Check out Reform UK's "shadow cabinet" 🤣🤣🤣

The weather is really not helping my aim of pre-trip laundry.

At least, because it's so ruddy cold, I can warrant putting the heating on for a bit.

Also, both yesterday and this morning, my brain was convinced that I was leaving for my holiday today, rather than Monday, which really did not help me sleep.

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@jschwa1 @RolloTreadway My main reason for getting the DryPod was that I don't have (and don't want because of environmental impact) a tumble dryer, not to mention the cost of putting on the heating. I didn't know about the FoxyDry! I got bewitched by the Lakeland catalogue during Lockdown 1 😂

I have to say I'm not a fan of this ongoing rehabilitation of Theresa May. With the notable exception of Andrew Rawnsley's review of her book, everywhere else seems to be lapping up the "confronting injustice" bullshit.
""I've always said immigration is good for the country."
Theresa May to Ruth Davidson on Times Radio, yesterday.
This you, Theresa?

@abe4eva @ErickaSimone @fkamiah17 We are saying half the species wanders around in a state of vigilance because we don't know which of the other half are offenders. Men can either listen and acknowledge this and show themselves to be the safe ones by doing so, or argue back saying that their hurt feelings are more important and hence show that they're not. You've been given a chance to choose here.

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@kingbeauregard @afewbugs @ErickaSimone That's a really horrible experience and I'm sorry it happened to you. And here's my caveat: the nature and frequency of acts of aggression/intimidation against women are so all-pervasive and happen every single day.
The "yeah but this one woman" (and I'm not referring to your personal experience, rather how it's used in the media and wider society) is legitimately dangerous for 51% of the population.

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@kingbeauregard @afewbugs @ErickaSimone Exactly. It's the fact that the extremely rare cases of women lying get much more media attention than the day-to-day cases (unless they involve the police, these days, or the woman is murdered).
In your case, it may well have been a way of "controlling the narrative" - the longer she had to embed her version of the story with the group, the more difficult for you to refute it without sounding like you were lying.
What an appalling experience.

@kingbeauregard @afewbugs @ErickaSimone The most important lessons are always the most difficult to learn, and the most profitable, in the long run.
You'll find your "bullshit radar" will become more finely tuned but we all have to be careful not to go too far in the other direction. Some people do tell tiny lies as a form of self-protection, or because they're too scared to tell a difficult or embarrassing truth. I'm not excusing it, but trying to be more understanding.
